Groyper leader, supporter of White nationalism & antisemite Jon Miller will be appearing alongside popular far-right electoral candidates Joe Kent & Blake Masters at a February fundraising event in Nashville. While the event website is private, it lists Miller as a special guest
Here's Miller citing "uncomfortable truths about Jewish power, influence [&] money", claiming that he uncovered the truth that Jews "run everything" at a dinner party, & insinuating that the social media site GETTR (which groypers despise) is run by Jews
A former host at Glenn Beck's BlazeTV, Miller's embrace of white nationalism was cemented when he spoke at Nick Fuentes' AFPAC conference last year. He's referred to himself sarcastically as an "honorary White male" & Fuentes calls him "my African American"irehr.org/2021/03/10/adv…
As @IREHR details, Miller asked at AFPAC "what is a black person’s role in the America First movement?...You need someone…to launch the movement into the mainstream." Miller shares content from stalwart white nationalist sources like National Justice & American Rennaissance
To my knowledge, this is the first time Masters or Kent, who enjoy widespread support across the America First wing of the conservative movement, are appearing with a groyper and Fuentes acolyte. And it likely won't be the last

BREAKING: Prominent White nationalist Jake Lloyd, leader in the America First/groyper movement, is serving as the Deputy Communications Director for the hard-right Texas gubernatorial campaign of @DonHuffines politicalresearch.org/2022/01/14/ame…
In his leadership in the groyper movement, Lloyd has called for White "supermajorities", lamented "my race is dying" & run a server where members praised "our Aryan bloodlines" & called for "death to all minorities". Here's Lloyd next to Nick Fuentes at a Stop the Steal rally
Here's Jake Lloyd, Deputy Communications Director for the @DonHuffines gubernatorial campaign in Texas, gleefully calling for & acting out domestic violence against an Asian woman on a personal livestream. (content warning-- Sinophobia, violent misogyny)

My latest: one year after they helped storm the Capitol, Nick Fuentes and the America First/groyper movement continue to move their brand of white nationalism within the America First wing of the GOP, casting a long shadow over the post-Trump MAGA movement politicalresearch.org/2022/01/05/we-…
Since 2019, the groypers looked for ways to ditch the toxic 'alt-right' label & rebrand themselves as young, energetic conservatives. With Stop the Steal, they found a fresh opening. Their frontline mobilization caught the attention of GOP Rep Gosar, who soon endorsed them
In 2021, Fuentes & AF attracted the support of national & local Republican officials, solidified their countercultural force among Gen Z conservative activists, held regular in-person conferences, meetups & rallies, & fortified movement infrastructure in face of deplatforming.

We know white nationalist Nick Fuentes- who are the groypers that follow him? Let’s look at some attendees of Fuentes’ Dallas speech outside CPAC last week- high school students, TikTok influencers, Turning Point USA activists, non-white groypers & longtime white power activists
LanceVideos, aka 19-year old Lance Johnston of Sherman, Texas, is a Gen-Z conservative influencer whose TikTok account, massively popular among right-wing teens, had over 143k followers & 8.6 million likes before it was banned in March.
In the video above, Lance clearly doesn't want to be seen at Nick's event. He's a prominent speaker at Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit this weekend, 3rd year in a row. @TPUSA has strenuously distanced itself from groyper white nationalism in the past- will that change? Image

My latest @PRAEyesRight- A deep dive into Nick Fuentes and his America First/groyper movement, the most prominent & mobilized white nationalist formation at the Capitol insurrection, a Gen Z group determined to capture the future of post-Trump conservatism
politicalresearch.org/2021/01/15/ame…
Nick & the groypers have been out in force at nationwide 'Stop the Steal' protests in the long leadup to Jan 6, championing the ‘American people’ against 'globalist elites', promising to ‘smash the GOP’ & build a true American nationalist movement rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Nick is careful to speak in a language many can hear. His image-conscious ‘groyper’ movement looks like clean-cut Gen Z White kids- campus Republican types in polo shirts & MAGA hats- concealing the hard-edged white nationalist core of their beliefs. irehr.org/reports/alt-ri…
